Chloe is joined by Issue IX: Identity contributor Heidi Lopez as they discuss how cultural identity can define so many parts of oneself, and how this has influenced her work as a graphic artist. Heidi grew up in a predominantly white community and experienced a new level of representation and importance of hearing other perspectives when she left her hometown to go to college.

Last night I helped Arianna Cruz with the Pre-Launch party for Issue IX of MORE Magazine. The whole thing was beautiful! 💖 Now rewind rewind... Arianna originally visited Loren's Alcohol-Free Beverages because Andrea Marley Simpson and I hosted an Indy Maven Monthly Meetup in August 2023. Arianna brought her interns because... you got it! bingo! We would have fun drinks for people under 21. Annndd, of course, she wanted to provide them with rich experiences and opportunities to make connections. One - snaps to Arianna for being such a thoughtful mentor! Two - what message are sending to future/young professionals if everyone is drinking alcohol at a networking event except for them? What if interns can't even attend because the venue is only 21+? Our mission has always been "to disrupt the narrative that alcohol is essential to celebrate, relax, or network in Central Indiana." Arianna Cruz reminds me that the networking part is non-negotiable! #alcoholfree #sobercurious #CentralIndiana #Indianapolis #CarmelIndiana #BeABetterHost

Are you registered for the Issue IX Pre-Launch Happy Hour yet? As we look to start conversations with intention, we've started hosting dialogues at our pre-launch event. This panel is meant to jump into our theme, Identity. The theme can be viewed from broad standpoints (ie. brand identity as an agency, etc.) or with a magnifying glass (ie. personal identity). Identity is interwoven in many aspects of our lives, sense of self, our career, how we present ourselves as friends or in class, how as we grow our identity will shift and evolve with us, and this conversation will be the tip of the iceberg as we all start to reflect on identity together. We are excited to have Casey Harrison of Polished Strategic Communications hosting the panel. Join us for an evening of conversation and the debut of our 2024 Women’s Issue on October 17th from 6-8pm at Loren’s AF Beverages. Get your tickets today: https://lnkd.in/gXSDe8Zw

A couple of weeks ago, Arianna Cruz, Alli Donovan, and Claudia Gil Matias met at Tom Wood Porsche For a Night with the Shift Up Now Foundation. Through our in-event activation offering, we had the chance to ask folks there, "How are you Shifting Up for women in motorsports?" Women in sports receive less than 10% of the global sports marketing sponsorship spend, which has created inequality and a lack of opportunity for women in many sports. In motorsport, where men and women can compete equally when afforded equal opportunities we see this funding disparity manifest with a lack of female athletes able to find the financial support.   The Shift Up Now Foundation assists female athletes in motorsport by supplying funding that allows access to better equipment and better resources, help further their careers with opportunities to rise to, and compete in, the highest echelons of motorsport.
